International Congress "Health-Nutrition-Wellbeing" (SANBUNA International), Fălticeni, Suceava Taking into account the real interest proved in Fălticeni and also in Suceava in promoting the Public-Civic-Private Partnership, while taking into account the whole series of potential benefits: health, social and direct and indirect economical ones, regarding the medium concerning "The Pilot Station" in Fălticeni and also an assumed challenge, "Building an Eastern European Regional Model of Thought and Action "Fălticeni Challenge" and the well-known "Rădășeni Apples" which have enchanted the participants, the message and the action of the International Congress "Health-Nutrition-Wellbeing" (SANBUNA International) has been a clear and motivated urge to open our minds and go beyond the fragments of understanding, by interacting, getting involved, communicating and building a Public-Civil-Private Partnership which can restore the trust in life and in the market, so that the health of people and of the economy remains the center of sustainable development and of adapting the business as a consequence.
To quote the President of the Congress, it represented "a starting point for the reform of wellbeing, because the discourse and the action regarding the problem: "nutrition -health -wellbeing" must and can be modified so as to preserve life by opening our minds, ascending our spirits, overcoming the understanding fragmentations, interacting, getting involved, communicating and learning how to make the adequate change in our behavior of individual and organizational consumers of aliments". The challenge in confronting the reform of wellbeing, affirmed the President of the Congress, does not lie in defending or opposing the levels of social expense or in the obfuscation of the people as far as the benefits or the specific rules are concerned but by reconfiguring, through consistent ways, with values such as the ones supported by the social European model.
The necessity of adapting the contemporary economical environment to the changing economical currents and to a modern thinking regarding the role of the social politics in meeting new sources of concurrence due to the technological change or to the different manifestations of globalization, but we should not omit the fact that education is the core of adaptation and solidarity cannot be neglected. The scientific strategies of improving the innovation processes and of stimulating the equality in the food chains are needed; only this way, health, happiness and longevity will be improved and the trust of the consumer in the food chain will be built and sustained.
This special issue has proposed to remind the participants these successful events and useful scientific manifestations, as well as some of the appreciated papers, which, why not, represent "a challenge" for the future ones.
